Hi guys! I’m feeling pretty tired after a busy weekend and busy week so far. Finally a very welcomed rest day. Mostly doing work and editing. Wrapped the day a little early as my brain is just not with it today. Most tasks ticked off and ready to pick up tomorrow. Ready for bed

Hello hello! I slept like I was DEAD last night. Literally dead to the world it was amazing. Up for the usual routine, I had quite a bit of work to get through today and so got to the gym later than anticipated at 4pm In for quads and glutes and had a pretty good session strength + reps maintained for most movements and some reps added here and there. Surprised my hips/si actually felt pretty good. Popped over to see my lovely grandma for a cup of tea and then headed back home to wrap up for the day!

Hi guys, very long day. Up for a shoot today in Solihul in a lovely clinic. Shoot started at 9 and wrapped at 5ish, lots of standing and my back feels VERY tight after holding kit all day. Drove back to drop off kit and then back home. Straight into work and check ins. Just finished for the night and I am exhausted.

Hi guys very late night tonight for me and it’s been a busy day! Up for my usual Monday routine, quick food shop in the morning so I can actually have breakfast! Work and then in for a very quick hams, glutes and delt session. Had to make some adjustments as I couldn’t wait for multiple people to finish on machines. Overall a good session. I’m absolutely desperate to see my chiro but unfortunately I keep having to reschedule and then meet in the middle with availability. I can defo feel that I need an adjustment as I’m feeling all sorts of niggles and discomfort on my right side. Drove up to Solihull for a shoot tomorrow, in the afternoon. arrived, continued on with work, final meal consumed and now ready for bed! Early start tomorrow.

Hiya Kiriakos, Hilly has covered this really well and I defo agree.

Communication and talking about why certain changes are/are not being made doesn’t mean you’re not willing to follow the plan or that you’re questioning your coaches ability and knowledge. If you’re in a position where you have truly tried to communicate about this and it’s left you feeling that you won’t bring your best, then you may need to consider a new coach. If you’ve been working with your coach for a while and have prepped before together successfully, trust that they would pick up on when you might need to adjust protocol!

All the markers you’ve mentioned (digestion, sleep, stress) do indicate that usually feeding or pulling back a touch would help.

Hi guys happy Thursday. Training day for me today. Usual morning routine and then in for legs in the afternoon. Good session with some movements slowly creeping up in load. Back home after to continue with work for the day. I slowly started to feel more and more battered after today’s session as the day went on. Very much ready for bed

Hi guys! Happy Tuesday! Busy day! Up for a walk as usual, straight into work after breakfast then in for hams and glutes. GREAT session with some surprising load increases. I’ll absolutely take it! Back home to continue with form analysis and check ins then off to pick my partner up from the airport. Unfortunately at rush hour so getting back took a while. Packed some orders for MAD and ran them down to the postbox, final meal in and ready for bed!

Hi guys! Happy Sunday, today very much felt like a Monday! Had a bit of a lie in as I got back super late last night! Up for a sunny walk, breakfast, a little work then in for quads and glutes! I had a sick session, even after my back feeling very tight after a lot of standing and sitting yesterday, I didn’t have any issue with niggles or discomfort. Feeling a bit stiff now though so we’ll see how I feel tomorrow! Back home after for my final check ins for the week. Ready for bed!

Hi guys! Happy Saturday. Early start and very late finish! Up very early to catch the train up to Bradford for the tbjp/ben weider pro qual/bikini pro show! From London to Bradford it’s around a 4 hour journey. Decided to get the train rather than drive so I can get some work done! Lovely seeing everyone there and watching the show at the same time. Journey back was not as smooth! Train delays and cancellations have meant I’ve only just got home haha! Feeling a little tired but wired! No doubt a little lie in tomorrow

Hi guys happy Friday! Up for a walk, work and then in for hams and glutes. Had to adjust my usual belt squat RDL to a barbell unfortunately the belt squat was seemingly a hot commodity in the gym today. Still a really good session complete. Feeling a little more like myself in this session. Ready for bed and up early to catch a train up to Bradford for the event tomorrow! Exciting!
